## Copying and Pasting Parameters

The Copy Parameters and Paste Parameters functions help you copy parameters from one feature or dimension and paste them to another feature(s) or dimension(s) in the Edit window. For example, you can copy and paste the following:

- Feature parameters, such as NUMHITS and DEPTH

- Dimension parameters, such as OUTPUT, TEXT, and tolerances

Nominal values, basic hit values, and vector component values are not parameters; therefore, you cannot copy and paste them.
